A congenital nevus is a proliferation of benign melanocytes that is either present at birth or develops shortly afterwards. Congenital nevi are usually classified by size: small (less than 1.5 cm in diameter), medium (larger than 1.5 cm and up to 20 cm) or giant (measuring 20 cm in diameter or larger).
Scoliosis is a common condition related to syringomyelia in children; in fact, some studies have shown that more than 50% of children with a syrinx have abnormal spinal curvature.coliosis can be caused by congenital conditions, neurological conditions (like SM), or can be of unknown origins. 80% of scoliosis cases have an unknown cause and are labeled idiopathic. Treatment options include observation, bracing, and surgery.
Syringomyelia (SM) is a neurological disorder where a fluid-filled cyst-or syrinx-develops inside the spinal cord. This cyst can grow over time, causing the spinal cord to expand and stretch nerve tissue. Eventually, the syrinx can cause permanent nerve damage and paralysis.yringomyelia (SM) is a neurological disorder where a fluid-filled cyst-or syrinx-develops inside the spinal cord.
